How to get started with HOPE

Together we can build a brighter, more positive world

The HOPE National Resource Center, led by Robert Sege, MD, PHD, is creating a movement that changes how we advance health and well-being for children, families, and communities.

Our research shows that positive childhood experiences (PCEs) help children grow into healthy, resilient adults. We created the strength-based HOPE framework that helps professionals, organizations, and communities support the children and families they serve by prioritizing the promotion of access to PCEs for every child.

The HOPE framework is for everyone

HOPE is a culturally responsive framework that can be practiced on all levels including:

• Individual one-on-one interactions between providers and families,
• Organizational-wide implementations connecting families, staff, and leadership,
• Entire communities where policymakers, agencies, leaders, and community members work together to spread the widespread promotion of PCEs.

As a professional, leader in your organization, community member, policymaker, or anywhere in between or beyond, you are joining us in creating a brighter world where we can consistently identify, honor, and promote child and family strengths through PCEs.
